Do Women Ejaculate? The “Not So Sexy” Secret They Won’t Tell You About Female Ejaculation

What happens during female ejaculation? Is squirting the same thing? If not….why not? Can all women ejaculate, or is it only a small percentage? And is squirting during sex NORMAL? (or is it just like peeing during sex?)

We’ve gotten a fair amount of questions about squirting during sex recently, including by one male reader who said his girlfriend ALWAYS ejaculates when she comes, and another from a FEMALE reader, who said she sometimes does too, and isn’t sure what’s going on.

There is a lot of myth and misinformation out there about ejaculation for a woman, so we asked a few of our resident experts to chime in, and opine. Look for a short series on the female orgasm coming in early 2018, with both clinical explanations on what happens when a woman climaxes, as well as some practical tips for giving YOUR girl the orgasm of her dreams 🙂 In the meantime, check out some other articles from around the web on female ejaculation, including a few who argue very different things – including, that a woman who “squirts” is really just peeing all over you when she gets off! 😉

Others may simply release a ton of lubricating fluid in the middle of intercourse. This, coupled with especially strong contractions of the muscles in the walls of the vagina, could lead to a larger-than-average amount of discharge, additional research has shown.

But neither of those things is a true female ejaculation, Dr. Wimpissinger says.

His research has shown a small number of women—fewer than 10 percent, according to his own clinical experience—expel another type of fluid. He says this ejaculate is similar in chemical composition to prostate plasma, which is the stuff a guy releases, along with sperm, during orgasm.
